Much of global commoditi es’ trade is conducted on CIF and FOB terms and more than 80% of the vol ume of global merchandise trade is carried by sea. Therefore\, the implica tions of the pandemic for international sale of goods on shipment terms an d contracts of carriage of goods by sea\, as well as related contractual r ights and obligations deserve particular attention and need to be better u nderstood\, to reduce the need for costly litigation and to help inform co mmercial contracting practice into the future.\n \n\nCourse overview:\n\n Against this background\, UNCTAD has developed a four-day virtual training course with a focus on the implications of the pandemic for some of the k ey commercial contracts in international shipping and trade\, in particula r contracts for the international sale of goods on Shipment Terms CIF and FOB and carriage of goods by sea under charterparties and bills of lading. The course is designed to help in the understanding and assessment of key issues arising from the pandemic for the different types of closely inter connected contracts\; the relevant legal implications\; as well as contrac tual approaches to addressing some of these\, in particular the use of sta ndard form clauses for commercial risk-allocation between the parties. As commercial and maritime law contracts at the international level are often subject to English law\, by agreement of the parties\, the course focuses on the position under English law\, although reference will also be made as appropriate to other legal systems.\n\nThe course will be delivered vir tually\, by a team of renown academic experts in International Maritime an d Commercial Law\, and will be offered on four occasions\, to enable broad participation and accommodate participants in different time-zones.\n\nEa ch course consists of four daily sessions (am or pm CEST)\, covering: inte rnational sale of goods on CIF and FOB terms and related payment mechanism s\; time and voyage charterparties\; specialist standard form ‘pandemics ’ clauses and force majeure clauses\; bills of lading and related cargo claims\, including special considerations applicable in the context of cha rterparty bills.\n\nWhile participation in only some of the sessions is po ssible\, only participants who complete the full course will receive a cou rse certificate.\n\nFour course dates are available and early registration is advised\, as places are limited.\n \n\nCourse dates:\n\n03 – 06 May :      9:30 – 13:00 CEST – for participants in Asia\, Africa\, Euro pe\n\n10 – 13 May:    15:00 – 18:30 CEST – for participants in Ame ricas\, Africa\, Europe\n\n16 – 19 May:    15:00 – 18:30 CEST – fo r participants in Americas\, Africa\, Europe\n\n07 – 10 June:     9:3 0 – 13:00 CEST – for participants in Asia\, Africa\, Europe\n \n\nTar get audience:\n\nThe course requires some legal background and is particul arly aimed at legal professionals and advisers involved in negotiation of relevant contracts and/or providing advice in connection with related righ ts and obligations\, claims or dispute resolution\; as well as others invo lved in related training and continuing education\, especially from develo ping countries.\n\nParticipants are encouraged to register early\, as plac es are limited.
